International Food Excursion 

Join us for the third workshop in our Food Processing Series with a "Market Crawl" — a group field trip designed to enhance your skills in selecting high-quality produce. Just like a bar crawl, but with a focus on fresh ingredients and global cuisine, this event will take us to local markets where we will:

Learn About Ingredients in Global Cuisine: Learn about fruits, herbs, spices, and other food products that can be found in local international markets that cater to the diverse communities in Baltimore and how to incorporate them into your cooking.

Evaluate Produce for Quality and Ripeness: Learn how to choose the best melons, avocados, citrus fruits, tomatoes, and more.

Get Expert Tips: Our guide will provide insights into what to look for when selecting ingredients that we will use in our upcoming workshops

This event is perfect for adults looking to expand their culinary skills, especially in preparing delicious, fresh meals. Whether you're a seasoned cook or just starting out, this Market Crawl will provide valuable knowledge and a fun, interactive experience.
